Description
Infinite Possibilities Across the Ages
Innovation is Carl Chudyk’s acclaimed tableau-building card game where players guide their civilizations from prehistory into the future using only cards — no map, tokens, or dice. Each card represents an innovation tied to one of eleven ages, with effects that are thematically linked to the technology or idea it represents.
Gameplay revolves around building your tableau of innovations, leveraging icons for powerful combos, and sometimes sharing or disrupting the effects of opponents’ technologies. Clever use of your cards can elevate your society, defend against demands, or sabotage others.
Victory comes through claiming achievements — earned by scoring points or meeting certain conditions with your innovations. With over 100 unique cards and endless strategic paths, no two games of Innovation ever play the same.
